maxumo 0 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Just checked the amazon website and it says the latest version is 1.5.88a Do you have a direct .apk link I could try? Edited May 23, 2018 by maxumo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14948 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Sorry, I mis-typed. 88 is the current release. Are you saying the search on the front page still doesn't work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondo5000 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I am having these search issues on a Toshiba FireTV Edition (a smart TV with the FireTV functionality built in). Searching within a music library tab DOES indeed work for text and voice searches, but no other types of text or voice search in other parts of the program work at all. Clicking the tiny magnifying glass search in a "My Media" movie/tv detail page does nothing (nothing other than making the info beneath the selected title disappear for one second). The magnifying glass button on the main home page does nothing either, so there is no way to search TV or films at all. Edit: These are mixed media library folders, a dev reply above leads me to think that if they were Movie/Tv only that a search tab would appear in these groups just as they did for music folders. Using Emby version 1.6.00a. Great program otherwise!! Best of luck solving the issue, if you need photos/debug info I'll do what I can to assist, though I don't have any sort of ADB or anything set up with this new TV yet.

ebr 14948 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I just tested this again on a 3rd gen Fire Stick and it works for me. Can I get one of you who still cannot make it work to send a log from the app after clicking on the search button on the home screen? Thanks.

Rondo5000 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Just now sent a log from the Toshiba Fire TV at about 3:00 pm EST. If any more info is needed to find the report or further logs are needed just say the word (I will note that my internet has been having service issues today so if the log didn't send I'll retry later). My thanks for the quick reply. The logged in user was named "emby". Edited July 23, 2018 by Rondo5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondo5000 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks. And you never saw any kind of prompt or anything? The system is requesting the permission to search... I remember no permissions requests other than those which were involved with permissions related to purchasing the unlock for the app. I had the parental lock enabled so that stray purchases couldn't be made without a pin code. I just tried disabling parental lock and power cycling the TV but the problem persists. I also checked the permissions section under "Manage Installed Applications" and it reported for Emby that "This App currently does not require any permission", as far as pending or saved denials go. Under "more info" the 4 standard are listed (Access information about networks, Open network sockets, etc.) I reinstalled the app earlier, and just now I cleared the program data and cache and launched it again with the parental controls fully disabled but there were still no permission prompts.

ebr 14948 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Okay, thanks. At this point, I'm thinking that Fire OS doesn't actually implement the on-demand permission system fully so I've put in a workaround for this in the beta that is headed up now. Once you get it you can test and see if that is correct. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get it you can test and see if that is correct. Thanks. Thanks, glad to hear a workaround is in progress. It may or may not be pointless for me to note but I have since had at least one app successfully ask for a further permission upon launch, the popular "Downloader" app by Aftvnews. In its release notes (pictured alongside the permission query) it mentions "further compatibility fixes" for the 3rd generation Fire TV, so perhaps they've encountered and worked around this issue and the code-wise specifics on what these TV's are needing may be floating around out there somewhere. Then again I've only owned a Fire OS device for a week and could be super wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14948 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 According to the FireOS docs, they should be supporting the on-demand permissions request. But, I can see we are making the request but you don't ever get a prompt on screen so I'm not sure why. It works fine on the Google Android TV devices and the search worked fine on my 3rd gen FTV stick - it didn't get stuck in the prompt because the app already had the permission it needed. This was after just busting the package on the device and installing our app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following link tells how to opt into the beta version of Emby for Fire TV: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/24350-android-open-beta-testing/ I had been fairly preoccupied and haven't opted into beta yet but I'm going to start the process now and I'll report back if the workaround worked.
